Hi Alp

lease-time shows the remaining time in the lease, not the total time.

This is from the dhcp-eval man page:

     lease-time

       The duration of the current lease - that is,  the  differ-
       ence  between the current time and the time that the lease
       expires.

regards,
-glenn

Oh I see, that made it more clear, however I still didn't understand a
point. At renewal time, the client takes another full lease duration right,
so I would still expect to see the full duration?

Perhaps is there anyway that I can log the lease end time or duration at
each request? I know I can get this at the leases file, however I need to
log that.

Thanks a lot,
Alp
